Boy or Girl??

Amber and Erik went and had their ultrasound today that we have all been waiting for. This was THE ultrasound--the one that would let us know if we were having a grandson or granddaughter. I can't spill the beans just yet. That wouldn't be fair if I posted something before they did. Check back soon because as soon as they say so, I will shout to the whole world what our new grandbaby is going to be.

Something for all Dads

Aubrey's Graduation (Long Overdue)

Our last Jackrabbit.

Aubrey with her graduation cake.  I made her wear the puffy tiara.  Believe me she was not happy.  She is such a good sport.

Aubrey had such a good group of friends.  These are just some of them.  I'm not even going to try and name them all.

Aubrey's best guy friend, Ryan "Fletcher" Fisher, aka "Fletch". Fletch is not part of his name.  I just always thought his last name was Fletcher, not Fisher.  So we nicknamed him Fletch.

These girls have been best friends FOREVER. 

Emily, Morgan, Aubrey, Audrey, Sarah, Ashley & Jodi.

Aubrey's best friend, Audrey.

All our kids at Baccalaurette.

Our girls have all graduated from Mesa High.

Erica 2006, Ashley 2005, Aubrey 2010 and Amber 2008.

Proud parents.  No more kids in high school.  Yeah!!!!

My parents with Aubrey.  Grammy and Papa.

Seminary graduation.  Sorry, this is the only picture we got.

All the graduates sitting on the field.

Aubrey just chillin' waiting for graduation to start.

Aubrey with her cousin, Chris.  (He plays baseball and football for McClintock.  The scouts are already looking at him for baseball.  Just you wait and see, he will be in the major leagues someday).

Once again, all our Jackrabbits.

Aubrey and her daddy.

A behind the scenes look.  They were posing for so many pictures with friends.

WOOHOO!!!  Aubrey and Audrey.  (Audrey can never get off the ground, haha.)

Leaving the field forever hand in hand with her best friends.

Looking forward to her future and excited about the many adventures she will have.

Change to the Baby Ticker

If you noticed the baby ticker from the other day it has changed quite dramatically. At first we figured that Amber was about 8 weeks along. We were so wrong. (Erik knew it all along. He kept telling us that we were wrong.) Amber went to the doctor and since she wasn't quite sure when it could have happened, they sent her for an ultrasound. It turns out she is only a little over 4 weeks. Way different than the 8 weeks that we thought. Oh well. Her due date is January 15, 2011. That will make Baby Payne and Ruby right at a year apart. I can't wait!!!

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day this year my kids REALLY surprised me. They had pictures taken by our family photographer (Jessica Mackey at urbanangelphotography.com) and they turned out great. Ashley then took some of the pictures and had them put into a really nice leather bound book. I was so shocked and of course, I cried. Here are some of the pictures they had taken.

I love how Ruby is screaming in this one.

My crazy kids. I love them all!! Thanks so much for the wonderful Mother's Day.

New Ticker/New Grandbaby

Did you notice the new ticker underneath our family photo? That's right. We are going to be grandparents again. Amber and Erik announced this past week that they are pregnant. At first I did not believe them. Erik has been "crying wolf" for awhile now. It wasn't until I looked at Amber and saw that she was crying that I believed it. We are so excited!! They are really excited too. They have names picked out already. I can't wait to find out the sex.
